Nothing has issued an intriguing teaser for a model new product, and it has followers of the model puzzled.
The London-based tech model has taken to X to submit a retro image of the Pokémon Feraligatr. It suggests {that a} new product is incoming, as Nothing tends to present its merchandise Pokémon-themed codenames. However what might it’s?
We will’t be certain, however there are a minimum of a couple of indicators as to what it in all probability isn’t.
Nothing Feraligatr product hypothesis
Over on the Nothing group web page, Group Supervisor Rob Goodwin posted the identical picture below the title ‘Right here comes Feraligatr’.
He additionally however expanded just a little with the next remark:
“New codename = New product”, earlier than inviting hypothesis on what it may be referring to.
The truth that it’s known as a “new product” means that it isn’t a Nothing Cellphone (3) Professional or Extremely. Additionally, Nothing co-founder and CEO Carl Pei appeared to place a kibosh on any potential extension to the sequence again in July when he asserted that “the three sequence familia is full” with the launch of the Nothing Cellphone (3).
Nothing
May it’s the Nothing Cellphone (3a) Group Version – technically a brand new variant of an current mannequin, created in collaboration with Nothing followers? We all know one is coming, however it might be a stretch to name it a “new product”.
Additionally, we don’t recall the Nothing Cellphone (2a) Group Version being accompanied by a complete new codename following on from the Nothing Cellphone (2a), aka ‘Aerodactyl’.
Certainly, the Nothing Cellphone (2a) Plus – a a lot newer product than any Group Version makeover – went below the ‘Mega Aerodactyl’ codename, which as any Pokémon fan will inform you is an advanced model of ‘Aerodactyl’.
Nothing pill or smartwatch?
Different fan hypothesis concerning the Nothing Feraligatr is that it might be Nothing’s first pill.
It is also the primary smartwatch to hold the total fats Nothing title. The model has launched smartwatches earlier than, however solely below the CMF funds sub-brand, most not too long ago with the CMF Watch Professional 2.
It’s definitely conceivable that the model would look to affix the extra premium smartwatch market, doubtlessly undercutting the Google Pixel Watch 4 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 8.
After all, what a whole lot of Nothing cellphone customers can be wanting proper now could be new software program, not {hardware}. The corporate promised that Android 16 was “later this autumn” on 1 July. Talking of which, Feraligatr is quantity 160 on the Pokédex – was Nothing speaking a couple of new software program product all alongside?
I would like a lie down.
